It is normal for babies and toddlers to have 'flat feet' due to the presence of fatty tissue on the insoles of their feet. This persists until approximately four - six years of age. Many children present with 'flexible flat feet', early in their walking development and may well grow out if it as their walking matures and they develop a longitudinal arch. Walking in bare in feet is ideal for promoting foot development.
